Dunfermline turned out to be the perfect base from which to experience Edinburgh, Glasgow and other central areas of Scotland in addition to the Fife Coastal Path.

Scotland has an extensive bus network, so getting around was simple and easy. We bought a weekly bus pass and were able to do the Fife Coastal Path in segments using Dunfermline as our base. We’d walk a segment, take the bus home; and then continue where we left off the next day. Of course if you want to walk the entire path in one direction, there are various types of accommodation available along the way.
